How many times have we heard this right through history?
The Nazis where "just doing their job" as a prime example.
SO MATE, BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU "JUST DO YOUR JOB", BECAUSE WHEN YOUR FREEDOM HAS GONE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK, EVER.
Look at the OPs case, sign of things to come?
Fletcher= filthy slime, that is all.

As a person who has marched many, many, many times for the freedom of others and the injustices meted out to people over the years, the last time being the 26th March 2011 in London (did I see you there!) and having been a steward at the Poll Tax marches in the 1980's I take your remarks very, very, seriously. I am a female pensioner so would not be classed as your 'Mate'. I made a statement about MOST of the stewards just doing their job; twice (at least) earlier in this thread I have stated very forcibly my support for the OP so please think before you try insulting me!!
Much more articulate people than you have tried to insult me MATE so just read back over the whole thread before you go off on one!!
Edit: If you search hard enough through these forums you may find something I quoted a few months ago on a similar thread but to save you the bother of searching I will repeat the verse just for you:
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me -
and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.
The German anti-Nazi activist,
Pastor Martin Niemöller
As I was a very active Trade Unionist that verse has always been instilled in me. You will find that, earlier in this thread, I stated that the club might possibly be looking into the situation but could not sack Fletcher out of hand because of employment laws. My background in the TU movement gave me that knowledge.
Rant over!! (For now anyway!!) :-)

Martin Niemöller was born in Lippstadt, North Rhine-Westphalia, on 14 January 1892 to the Lutheran pastor Heinrich Niemöller and his wife Pauline née Müller, and grew up in a very conservative home.[3] In 1900 the family moved to Elberfeld where he finished school, taking his abitur exam in 1910.
He began a career as an officer of the Imperial Navy of the German Empire, and in 1915 was assigned to U-boats. His first ship was the SMS Thüringen. In October of that year he joined the submarine mother ship SMS Vulkan, followed by training on the submarine SM U-3. In February 1916 he became second officer on SM U-73, which was assigned to the Mediterranean in April 1916.[9] There the submarine fought on the Saloniki front, patrolled in the Strait of Otranto and from December 1916 onward planted mines in front of Port Said and was involved in commerce raiding. Flying a French flag as a ruse of war, the SM U-73 sailed past British warships and torpedoed two Allied troopships and a British man-of-war.
In January 1917 Niemöller was coxswain of SM U-39. Later he returned to Kiel, and in August 1917 he became first officer on SM U-151, which attacked numerous ships at Gibraltar, in the Bay of Biscay, and other places. During this time the SM U-151 crew set a record by sinking 55,000 tons of Allied ships in 115 days at sea. In May 1918 he became commander of the SM UC-67. Under his command, SM UC-67 achieved a temporary closing of the French port of Marseilles by sinking ships in the area, by torpedoes, and by the laying of mines.[9]
For his achievements, Niemöller was awarded the Iron Cross First Class. When the war drew to a close,
